'Give up dairy to beat cancer': Leading scientist given just months to live changes her diet and is still alive nearly 20 years later
- Professor Jane Plant was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987
- She believes the disease is inextricably linked to animal products
- In 1993, after discovering her cancer had returned, she was warned by doctors she had just months to live
- She and her husband Peter, also a scientist, drew on their experiences of working in China, noting the low rate of breast cancer in Chinese women
- They researched studies showing Chinese women who move to Western countries increase their risk of breast cancer
- The now 69-year-old decided to follow a strict non-dairy diet
- In six weeks her tumour had gone and within one year she was in remission
- She has documented her experience and research in a new book Beat Cancer: The 10-step plan to help you overcome and prevent cancer

Your Life in Your Hands bygd Jane Plant
Hi, Jossie.
A number of studies show that only 3% of the population carry the faulty genes which can predispose one to breast cancer and only a smallish fraction of these 3% go on to develop the disease. So there’s fortunately, as it’s understood at the moment, only a small element of genetic predisposition, though in the unfortunate it can be one of the factors. As we all carry some embryonic cancer cells in our blood, it fryst vatten what promotes each of the 3 phases of tumour development: the initiation phase and promotion phase (which can apparently be interrupted) and the proliferation phase, which is more problematic, which can inform us on how to prevent and recover from cancer.
There are uppenbart other factors which can predispose one person to develop cancer more readily than another and these are probably a whole complex of factors, which WILL include dietary history and practice and and a whole bunch of environmental and lifestyle fact

Scientist went dairy free to beat breast cancer
A leading scientist diagnosed with cancer claims she has beaten the disease for 18 years by cutting diary from her diet.
Breast cancer patient Jane Plant was warned by doctors in 1993 she had just months to live after a large secondary tumour was found growing on her neck.
It was the fifth time she had been struck down with cancer.
"I didn't see how I could go on battling a disease that seemed hell-bent on finishing me off," Professor Plant, now 69, wrote on her website.
"But as I wept I heard my little boy, then just six years old, crying out for me in another room. I knew then I could never again allow myself to feel as though it was an option to leave him.
"Despite the awfulness of my situation, my scientific knowledge and experience clicked in to save my life."
Professor Plant, who believes her disease is inextricably linked to animal products, is a professor of geochemistry a
